Study Notes
CYP Enzymes
- CYP stands for Cytochrome P450
Naming Convention
- Numbers following 'CYP' in the naming convention of cytochrome enzymes represent the family (first number), subfamily (letter), and individual enzyme (number)
Mixed-Function Oxidase System
- The component of the mixed-function oxidase system responsible for transferring an oxygen atom to the substrate RH is CYP enzymes
Oxidative Process
- The reducing agent needed in the oxidative process catalyzed by CYP enzymes is NADPH and FADH
Xenobiotic Metabolism
- The end product formed when one atom of molecular oxygen is introduced into the substrate R-H in xenobiotic metabolism is R-OH

Description
Learn about the naming convention of the cytochrome P450 system, which includes a family designation (CYP1, CYP2, etc.), a subfamily represented by a capital letter (CYP1A, CYP2B, etc.), and a specific enzyme number (CYP1A2, CYP2C9, etc.). Explore how this naming system identifies enzymes responsible for various reactions.
